Below you will find a common list of FAQs that our users have when it comes to packaging guidelines for Cardinal Health.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per carton?
No, you cannot. The documentation specifies that the carton must be a single (homogeneous) SKU full case carton.
Can you mix multiple SKUs per pallet?
No, you cannot mix multiple SKUs per pallet as the guidelines only apply to single (homogeneous) SKU full case cartons and inner packs.
Can you mix POs in a single carton?
No. The guidelines state that only single SKU full case/inner pack cartons are applicable, which implies that mixing POs in one carton is not allowed.
Can you mix POs in a single pallet?
No, pallets must be PO specific; mixing POs on a single pallet is not allowed.
Where do I place the label on a carton?
For both non‐serialized and serialized homogeneous case labels, the label must be placed on two adjacent sides of the carton. When using a wraparound label, the left half should be affixed to the right-most side of the carton and, once wrapped, the right half should be positioned on the left-most short side. Alternatively, if two separate labels are used, they must be placed on adjacent sides at least 0.75 inches from any vertical edge to prevent damage.
Where do I place the label on a pallet?
There are two different labeling placements to note. For case product identification labels – which are affixed to the package that eventually goes on a pallet – Cardinal Health requires that the label appear on two adjacent sides. When using a wrap‐around label, the label should be designed so that the left half is applied to the right-most side of the case and, once wrapped, the right half appears on the left-most (short) side. If two separate but identical labels are used, they must be applied on adjacent sides, positioned at least 0.75 inches from any vertical edge to avoid damage. In addition, on pallet shipping the PO number must be clearly identified on all four sides of the pallet.
